Blink Charging, a leading provider of electric vehicle charging stations, has announced the release of its new and improved mobile charger. The freestanding charger is specifically designed to provide emergency charging for stranded electric vehicles, addressing the needs of EV fleet operators, roadside assistance providers, insurance companies, auto manufacturers, and public roadway assistance programs.
The Blink mobile charger boasts a rating of 32 amps and can charge an electric vehicle at a rate of 0.5 to 1 mile of range per minute. This feature enables a stranded vehicle to receive adequate charge to drive to the nearest EV charging station and eliminates the need for the vehicle to be towed.

The unit is compatible with all electric vehicles and Level 2 fleet vehicles, including all Tesla models.

Compared to its predecessor model, the traditional gas-powered EV charger, the new mobile charger delivers a significant reduction in weight, size, noise, and cost, making it more compact, accessible, and transportable. Despite the reduction in size, the mobile charger still provides the same reliable experience as the previous generation unit.
The release of the Blink mobile charger comes at a critical time as the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, and the need for reliable charging solutions becomes more pressing. With its innovative features and compatibility with all electric vehicles and Level 2 fleet vehicles, the Blink mobile charger is poised to become a game-changer in the world of electric vehicle charging.
